"I need help with my 1987 9.9
"I need help with my 1987 9.9 HP Honda 4-stroke outboard kicker and its low speed rpm problem. Last winter I put a brand new carburetor on this engine. It idles great and runs fine but there is a band from idle to maybe 2000 rpm that it just won’t stay at. It is not a matter of the thrust lock creeping.
I can troll at minimum idle about 1.0 kts, (say 600 rpm) and if I try to add just a little more power to troll say between 1 to 2.4 kts it won’t do it. Accelerates to 2.4 kts (say 2000 rpm) or higher just fine. There is a zone between say 600 and maybe 2000 rpm that it just would stay at. Driving me crazy when I try to troll at 1.5 kts or so. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!"
